Sorry to cross post, but I think this issue's important for all lists. If
NIFL is to support adult education practitioners with the field's "best
practices", how does this impact our work, especially as it concerns
technology?  In a recent conversation with a legislative aide, apractitioner
reported that the aide said "that he didn't necessarily see
'researched-based' [practice/teaching] as a problem [for adult literacy
practitioners], as he put it, 'that means you just have studies showing that
what you do works, and you don't just go doing whatever you want to do'."
What if "whatever we want to do" involves enhancing reading instruction with
technology training, as in my program? There has been a thread of
conversation about reading and the Internet. What direction do you see NIFL
taking? Do you see limits to your practices here?
